Subject: Re:Re: [PATCH] Linux-2.6.11-rc5: kernel/sys.c setrlimit() RLIMIT_RSS cleanup
Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 19:05:51 +0800 (CST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4365289.1109502351571.JavaMail.postfix@mx20.mail.sohu.com> (raw)



I have a buddy who encountered the "ulimit" confusion,
when he and his team deployed Linux as the platform for a multi-user online programming test competition system.

And generally, i think the kernel/system shall work as it said(return of syscalls/output of commands) :)

But rss limit might be a historical issue, with already many applications depending on it :(
